Biochemistry with the Celebrity Stars on Conan O’Brien

How did I miss this until now? Conan O’Brien had a segment called Biochemistry with the Celebrity Stars.

It was a bit over the top geeky with the goggles and the coloured liquids, but I love that all the things they said in the fragment, like “sticky end” and “transmembrane proteins” are actual Biochemical terms. Conan’s writers did their homework!
